    Would Douglas be too big and too strong for the relatively small Ellis?

    Yeah I think with the kind of height, reach, weight, and power that Douglas would have over Jimmy he’d win this one and most likely by stoppage at some point. Not exactly sure how or when it ends but Ellis would be taking a lot of shots in there and not returning too much.

    Buster who beat Tyson in Tokyo would stop Ellis in 6-8 rounds.
